Welcome to the
Pilgrim Pathway!
An introduction to this website.
NEW (and important!)
Yom Teruah
This is the Biblical name for the
Feast of Trumpets
or
Rosh Hashanah.
The word
'Teruah' is Strong's Hebrew word #H8643 and it is a
big new lead for those interested in Bible prophecy and the Feast of Trumpets.
The word Teruah in Hebrew is absolutely loaded with some very telling connections
which give meaning to this very important upcoming feast, moed, or divine appointment.
33 Biblical references to the word 'Teruah'
are just sitting there in the KJV waiting for us to search and study them out.
These verses have not yet been explored! No one is talking about this awesome mother-lode of Biblical info yet.
Why not? Lets get on with it! Let's do our homework people! Here are two YouTube videos to get us started.
They are
Yom Teruah, the Teruah, and the Teruah shofar blast
and this one,
Yom Teruah, the day of shouting and the day of blowing of trumpets of alarm.
'Paradise Road'

The Anabaptist Legacy of the Amish and Mennonites
and the End-Time Witness of the Saints
The Anabaptists were ahead of their time.
The tumultuous history of central Europe in the 1500's drew them into a radical separation from the Church-State politics of this world
and to holiness before God.
They rejected of the sword of the flesh and took up the Sword of the Spirit, God's Holy Word.
This is the legacy they have handed to us, the Biblical Christians
of the West, as we come to the climax of the age.
The Seventy Weeks of Daniel;
An Extensive Biblical and
Astronomical Study
Daniel's Prophecy of the 70 weeks is an
an important key to Bible prophecy. The
Edict of Artaxerxes Longimanus
given to Nehemiah
on the new moon of Nisan in the springtime of
445 B.C. faithfully fulfills
the Biblical criteria to fire the starting gun for the
'70 Weeks Prophecy'.
The solar and lunar cycles can accurately mark off the 173,880 day
of the first segment of 69 weeks to arrive
on the 10th day of the Nisan moon in 32 A.D.. This day was
32 A.D.
4 days before Messiah is "cut off". He was executed on Passover.
On that very day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, precisely as Zechariahah had prophesied. (Zech. 9:9)
This was the first and only official public and political appearance of Jesus
as "Messiah the Prince". It was the
Palm Day.
This 10th day of Nisan, 32 A.D. marked the terminus of the 69 weeks.
In #7 of this series of articles
and YouTube videos
we present the NASA lunar calculations confirming the remarkably accurate findings of 19th Century
evangelical Scotland Yard Inspector
Sir Robert Anderson. Here online is
in his book
'The Coming Prince'. A minor two day variance over 476 odd years is of no consequence.
We are looking here at a confidence level of 1 in 100,000 or 99.999 % accuracy.
Daniel's prophecy clearly indicates that one 'week',
the
'70th Week' of the Seventy Weeks prophecy
is still most certainly out there in our future.
This climactic future seven year timespan will mark the
final seven years of this age.
NEW
The Future 70th Week
A faithful diligence in the study of
Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy
will show that there is a future 70th Week. It is the final seven years of the prophecy and
the
final seven years of this age
. And yes,
some blockbuster issues will be addressed by Christian believers in this coming time period.
There is to be an end-time witness
of the saints, an
End-Time Revival
, and a full and complete
Restoration of All Israel. A host of marvelous mysteries are
yet to be unveiled and revealed before men and angels.
Unfortunately established churchianity does not want to hear about this.
Those into
Dominion Theology think that Christianity
can take over the world and establish the
Kingdom Now without Messiah needing to return to do it.
So a raging sea of
religious disinformation is being thrown against
Daniel 9:27.
And a resurgent
preterism is trying to make the truth of a
future 70th week "go away".
Daniel's vision of the ram and he-goat
The prophet Daniel saw the attack of the he-goat upon the ram.
The story begins with the campaign of Alexander
the great into Medo-Persia. It continues with the Seleucids
and the King of the North out of which comes the little horn.
Then the story gets personal.
It grabs us, takes us "back to the future",
and compels us to face things we do not want to hear about.
NEW
The Wheat and the Tares
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares was a prophecy of the end-time harvest taught by Jesus.
As incredible as it may seem, certain people, the seed of heaven, and the seed of the devil,
will be gathered off the face of this earth in the coming awesome
Day of the Lord.
He said that the tares, (the followers of the wicked one), would be plucked up first. See Mat. 13:30.
The harvest of the wheat, the Good Seed sowed by the Son of Man will then follow.
The children of the Kingdom, will go up in
(the Resurrection-Rapture). See 1Thes. 4:15,16,17.
Does this mean that the righteous, (the wheat in the parable),
will actually see the wicked being carried off kicking and screaming by their angels, those evil angels of wrath?
Will the righteous "see the reward of the wicked" as spoken of in Psalm 91:7,8?
And since the harvest is an execution
of that preceding finalizing legal matter, the epic
Day of Covering, the Last Day Judgment, the Day of Sentencing, (the Day of Atonement),
when must we conclude that this two-fold harvest will occur?
The Deliverer is Coming!
The ending scene of the movie "The Searchers" starring John Wayne
is a classic. It illustrates many elements of the return of Messiah as the Breaker.
Here is the movie clip along with some reflections on the coming of the Deliverer.
NEW
The Post-Tribulation Rapture and HITLER!
After many years of presenting Biblical truth about the end-time scenario
it seems that most Biblical Christians in the West do not open their Bibles.
Instead they listen to and are hypnotized by teachers who teach a comfy Pre-Tribulation Rapture, a
doctrine of desertion that is without any
Biblical foundation whatsoever.
Perhaps we in the Western nations are indeed
tricky Jacob after all.
So, what to do?
Perhaps a parody, a spoof, might help?
Appeal to Heaven!
This was the standard and the ensign raised at America's beginning.
The same Appeal to Heaven will go up in times to come, not
just from the heartland of America but also from the heartland of
Israel and all the nations of Western Christendom.
A Place of Refuge during the Tribulation
There are many scriptures indicating that there will be a place of refuge
during the coming storm, the
Great Tribulation.
We know that this is first and foremost a spiritual place of communion in God.
But will there also be a physical place of refuge away from the 666 economic system
during those
final 3.5 years of this age?
The prophet Micah spoke of this in Micah 2:12,13.
And the apostle John wrote of this in Rev. 12:6,14.
And before the Holy Scriptures were written
the ancient patriarchs pieced together this glorious end-time story
in the names and in the layout of the stars in the constellations.
Nimrod's agenda at the Tower of Babel was to pervert God's celestial Message.
And so
the Mazzaroth was twisted by profane ambitious humanistic
men to become what we see today, the horoscopes of the Zodiac.
The latter day gathering and the end-time deliverance of
the Elect is outlined for us in the constellation
of the Lesser Sheepfold,
the ancient name for the Little Dipper or Ursa Minor.
This must be a huge epic end-time exodus involving perhaps tens or even hundreds of millions of people.
So, where will this place of refuge be? It cannot be Petra, a small canyon of rock caves in Jordan.
It is far too small. And logistically this confined space would be a death trap in this
age of fuel bombs and poison gas.
And Petra is situated right in the war zone of the latter days.
No, the Mystery Bozrah
must of necessity be a much bigger and safer place.
Poetic Bible prophecy suggests that (mystery) Bozrah,
the place Messiah visits on His return as we see in
Isaiah chapter 63
will be out at
'the ends of the earth'.
NEW
The Coming Year of Jubilee.
There is a lot of speculation about the
coming Year of Jubilee. Biblical Christians
are beginning to understand that the Jubilees are exclusively linked to the Seventy Weeks Prophecy. See
this YouTube video.
The
Seventy Weeks Prophecy, a time segment of 490 years,
is stated by the Holy Spirit to begin with seven sevens or 49 years. This is a Jubilee cycle.
And the 490 years of the Seventy Weeks is a perfect match for exactly ten 49 year Jubilee cycles
which indicates its terminus will come right on a Jubilee.
But that is not all. The trumpets of Jubilee
are sounded on the
Day of Atonement.
Furthermore, we now have evidence from our studies of the
Fall Feasts of the Lord
that the Day of Atonement as a matter of legal necessity must precede and usher in
the Day of the Lord
which will see the execution of God's wrath and His deliverance.
This final Yom Kippur, (Day of Covering), will come at the end of 1260 + 1290 or
2550 days.
So Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement,
will come into its New Covenant fulfillment on the very
Last Day of this present evil age.
All of this indicates that there is an epic future Tishrei 10 Hebrew calendar date out there
somewhere in our future. It will come at the end of a future seven year time span, the
70th Week of Daniel.
On this awesome future
Day of Reckoning
the trumpets will sound. The heavens will roll back and space-time
will be drawn aside as a curtain to reveal the return of Messiah in the
Day of the Lord.
The angels of wrath will specifically and personally pluck up the wicked.
Then, after the gathering of these tares
the Elect will then be caught up in the
Resurrection-Rapture.
The
Jubilee Year of Messiah, the first year of His
Thousand Year Millennial Kingdom will have just begun.
The Seven Feasts of Israel
are also known as the
Feasts of the Lord,
or the
Jewish Holidays.
Seven Hebrew Holidays were instituted by God.
Four of them have already been fulfilled.
Three more are yet to come. And they will.
They will erupt into holy history to realize
their New Covenant fulfilment during those
climactic final seven years of this age, the
70th Week of Daniel
.
The Fall Feasts of Israel
The next two feasts due to come up
for fulfillment and erupt into holy
history are the
Feast of Trumpets
and the
Day of Atonement
. This author
has discovered that
these two Fall Feasts
when they are placed seven years apart and include 86, (not 87), moons stake out
2550 days.
This is precisely the time span encompassing the
future 1260 + 1260 day
70th week
of Daniel plus the 30 day extension
that reaches out beyond the 70th Week to include the
1290 days
spoken of by the angel Gabriel to Daniel and
given to us in Dan.12:11. 1260 + 1290 = 2550 days.
For certain seven year spans up ahead it is a perfect match!
The Feast of Trumpets
The 5th feast is still unfulfilled. On
some epic future Rosh Hashanah the
trumpets will sound the alarm.
Why? What will have happened?
The mirror article is
Rosh Hashanah's Final Fulfillment
The Day of Atonement
The 6th of the
7 Feasts of Israel
is still unfulfilled and up there in our future. It appears
that this awesome holy-day on the Jewish calendar
being that final Day of Reckoning
is a key piece to the jigsaw puzzle
of end-time Bible prophecy.
This ultimate day of legal closure, Day of Reconciliation of Accounts, and
the Messianic Judgment Day is grand central station to the end-time drama.
This future epic Yom Kippur or Day of Covering will surely come.
For the wicked it will be a Day of Sentencing.
For the justified it will be a Day of Pardoning
and an invitation into the glory.
Very appropriately That Day will erupt into holy history on the
very
Last Day of this present evil age.
As the sun sets on That Day the harvest angels will
loosed to execute that Judgment.
The Last Day
There are many references in Holy Scripture to
the 'Last Day' or "'That Day', singular.
It is very last day of this age. And as we are now discovering,
it will be the ultimate blockbuster
Day of Atonement.
It will also be the day of sounding the trumpets to announce the
Year of Jubilee.
At sunset space-time will roll back to reveal the returning Messiah,
(the One who stretched out the cosmos in the first place),
as He comes in the Day of the Lord.
After the gathering of the wicked as tares, See Mat. 13:30),
the Elect
will then be gathered, raised up, caught up, changed "in the twinkling of an eye" in the
Post-Tribulation Resurrection-Rapture.
Blood Covenant Christianity
The New Covenant is a blood covenant relationship
between Christ and His church. Are we merely passive
recipients of this great salvation? Or is the love of God
drawing us into the vital and essential role of witness?
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
versus the
The Post-Tribulation Rapture
Which one is Biblically correct?
Most of us have heard the pre-tribulation
rapture thesis expounded many many times.
But is it true to God's Holy Word?
Here is 'the rest of the story'.
The End Time Revival
Evangelical Christians are being demoralized
by a babel of religious disinformation. One terrible lie is that
the Holy Spirit is
the Restrainer of the Antichrist of 2Thes. 2
and that He, part of the omnipresent Godhead no less, will be "taken out of the way"
during the final 7 years of this age.
So essentially they are saying that God by His Holy Spirit
will vacate His own cosmos and desert His own covenant people
during their very time of need, during their time of witness in the latter days.
This is a major ecclesiastical dispensational error.
This grievous falshood needs to be renounced, and pronto!
The Holy Scriptures tell us an entirely different story.
The prophet Joel, Hosea, and many others spoke of a coming Holy
Spirit outpouring of massive
proportions that will power up right through
the
3.5 Harlot years and the 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation that follow.
Even as many are deserting the faith in a
Great Apostasy or Great Falling Away
and right on through the dramatic events of
the final 7 years of this age
this Holy Spirit outpouring will continue.
2600 years ago the prophet Joel saw the peak of
this awesome End-Time Revival as one might view a distant mountain.
He saw the peak of this (true and genuine)
Latter Rain
during the cosmic disturbances of the 6th seal
with the sun turning to darkness and the moon to blood.
This means that the epic future Holy Spirit outpouring
will come to a climax precisely when we might expect it to occur,
just as Messiah returns, and right at the very end of this age!
The First Resurrection and
the Tribulation Saints.
The Tribulation saints we see in Revelation 20:4-6 are featured members of the First Resurrection.
Do these martyrs head up the parade of all the saints of this age?
Or do they make up the entire company of the First Resurrection?
Three Days in the Grave
The scriptures are clear. Jesus was in the grave
for, (or during), three days and three nights.
How might this affect the chronology of Passion Week?
2016: The DEEPER Root
of Obama's Raging Anti-Colonialism.
'2016: Obama's America' is a new movie by Dinesh D'Souza.
In it we see
The Mild Nationalistic Anti-Colonialism
and the more virulent form of anti-colonialism. Both are showcased in the life of President Obama
and certain members of his family.
The mild anti-colonialism is seen when native peoples
chafe and revolt against colonial rule. This is understandable in the historical context.
But what is the root cause of that lifelong malignant raging form of anti-colonialism?
We answer that question here and in the following article.
The DEEPER Root of
Raging Anti-Colonialism.
Mr. D'Souza has done a wonderful work of political elucidation here.
But we must go down to the deeper spiritual level to find out what really motivates all this raging.
Those with a Biblical world view recognize that dark angelic principalities and powers are at work here.
They stir up certain people to despise and bring down Western Christendom.
Why are they doing this? Is this just "radical politics"?
Or is this anti-Western hatred really a hidden attack directed at
the Judeo-Christian faith of the West? Depraved men and their dark angels are raging. Why?
Are we seeing the end-time raging of the heathen
that King David saw 3,000 years ago? He wrote a song about it; - see Psalm 2.
Do godless men rage because their own dark angels are pulling their strings?
Are these evil powers trembling in fear and dread of
a certain Judgment under the soon-coming Messiah?
And even as they rage in anger can they really hope to forestall
their impending doom by waging a campaign of terror
against the saints? Can they really prevent the covenant people of God
from going up on the stage of history to bring in
the end-time witness?
The Edomites of Today;
Who are they? And where are they?
The ancient left-over blessing of Isaac upon his son Esau
is almost never spoken about by our
dispensationalist Bible prophecy teachers.
But its prophetic fulfillment with
the latter day dominance of the earthy Edomites in the rich nations of the West
is now being seen as our Western culture descends into godless paganism.
And in the
Bozrah prophecies the return of the latter day spiritual children of Esau is a
an important part of the end-time drama.
The Restoration of Israel.
Is this the salvation of the Jewish family at the end of the age?
Quite so. But there is more. And born-again Christians, (who consider themselves
"gentiles", a name which means "heathen"), are in for a big surprise.
Are they part of this great end-time restoration of Israel?
Oh yes.
NEW
Desert of the Nations;
Wilderness of the Peoples
A special destination and gathering place
for the saints during the Great Tribulation
which is during the latter half of the
70th Week of Daniel, (the final 3.5 years of this age),
is described in Ezekiel 20:33,34,35,36,37,&38.
What will go on there? And do we know where this place might be?
Who Will Be Left To
Populate The Millennium?
This question is often asked of those who believe there will be a
Post-Tribulation Rapture.
If the Elect are glorified and the wicked damned then who will be left at the end of the age
to populate the earth during the ensuing Millennium?
Is there a third group of mortals left? The answer is 'yes'.
The key issue here is a third party or "second order covenant". We see this showcased
very dramatically in the Sheep-Goat Judgment.
The Sabbath Rest
The Sabbath is the fourth commandment.
We correctly see it as a law for Israel in the Old Covenant.
But could the Sabbath also be a New Covenant experience to be entered into by God's grace?
Might it also be a personal invitation to draw aside from the labors and cares of this world
and to enjoy a time of rest and fellowship with God?
The Rapture of the Church
When Christ our Messiah glorifies His covenant people into new spiritual bodies at the end of this age the righteous dead
will come out of their graves. Then we who are alive and remain will be "caught up" with them
in an event of great wonder called the Rapture.
When is this Rapture event? The answer is easy.
It can be tagged from the well documented timing of the Resurrection of the righteous dead.
The 24 Elders
In Revelation chapter 4 John is
transported in vision to the Lord's day, or the Day of the Lord.
John sees wonders related to the events attendant to the
unzipping of the Newtonian space-time cosmos as Messiah returns.
There he sees the 24 elders. Who are these? Are they "The Church"
as we have been told? Or are they 24 elders as the Bible states them to be.
So just who are these 24 men?
Israel and the Church.
Restored as One!
Dispensationalist (splitters) are keen to separate off Israel from the Church.
Their end-time fantasies are of a Jewish nation
'Left Behind'
even as they, the established evangelical church,
misbehaves like a
Runaway Bride, baulks at the
blood covenant commitment,
and
raptures themselves out seven years before the end of this age.
Reformed Theology (lumpers) are quite correct in their insistence upon a single Covenant.
But unfortunately in the absence of a viable Scripturally based Israelology in their seminaries they
are often inclined to slip-slide into Augustine and Origen's
Replacement Theology which says that the Church has replaced (and displaced) Israel.
This Replacement Theology is bad news.
It has thrown up bloody
anti-Semitic histories over the past 1700 years. It is also linked to
Dominion Theology, crusades, church sponsored inquisitions,
and helped foment a reactionary secularism in the political parties of both nationalist and international socialism.
Replacement Theology is still nestled in many of the older denominations. It needs to be renounced ASAP!
But throughout the Holy Scriptures the God of Israel always speaks of
one Elect. He draws one
Chosen People to Himself. The Seed of Abraham flows above the DNA and it comes in by faith and not by race.
So at the end of the age we see a remnant Israel including a saved remnant of the the royal Jewish House of Judah,
and a remnant church drawn from all nations, races and tribes. This final remnant Elect will be reunited as a restored
and fullly regathered
Commonwealth of Israel. The
Breach of Jeroboam will be healed. And Israel's family feud will end.
The Jews will be saved, the
lost ten tribes found,
and the two estranged houses of Israel will be cross-linked together as a
single Elect,
even the "royal
priesthood and holy nation" Moses and the Apostle Peter both spoke about. (Exodus 19:6, 1Peter 2:9)
All these mysteries will unfold in the future
end-time drama
as the
Fall Feasts of Israel erupt into their New Covenant fulfillment and into world history.
Who Are The Chosen People?
Who are God's Chosen People?
Are they the Jews? The Church?
Does YHVH-God have two Chosen Peoples?
Does He have an 'apartheid policy' for His Elect?
The Holy Scriptures, as usual, give us the answer.
Because from cover to cover the Bible only speaks of
one Elect, one Chosen People.
So if all of God's covenant people are
destined to become a single Congregation/Church/Synagogue and a single nation then
how will this great and epic re-union and restoration occur? And when?
And by whom?
The Woman of Revelation 12
& The Constellation Andromeda
"The woman" is showcased throughout Holy Scripture. We see her in the Garden of Eden
and her Seed is prophesied to crush the head of the serpent. (Gen. 3:15)
In the book of Hosea she is the wife of YHVH-God, and like Gomer, the wife of Hosea, she is inclined to forget
her true Husband, the God of Israel and get into a world of trouble.
But all is not lost. In the prophecy of Hosea she is eventually purchased in a slave market and wonderfully restored.
In the book of Revelation
John saw the woman in great travail and tribulation and yet entering into her glorious destiny at the climax of the age.
He saw her in travail and delivering the man-child.
She is clothed with the sun, the glory of her Father. The moon, with her reflected Light, is under her feet.
She is crowned with a garland of 12 stars. John saw her under attack by the dragon but saved and delivered at the end.
The heavens are telling this very same awesome end-time story in
the constellation of Andromeda.
The Commonwealth of Israel.
Does it Include the True Church?
In Ephesian 2:12-13 our Apostle Paul states that Christians were once
heathen, lost and without hope, and outside the Commonwealth of Israel.
But now, in Christ, they have been brought nigh. Does this mean
that true Christian believers are now inside the Commonwealth or citizenship of Israel?
And if so, then what are our responsibilities in this citizenship? Are we to be witnesses to Messiah
before kings and rulers as we come into the dramas at the end of the age? (Luke 21:12, Mark 13:9)
Biblical or Prophetic Time
Daniel's prophecy of the
70 weeks and other Bible prophecies
sees God dispensing time to us from His heavenly throne in terms of 'years' and 'months'.
How many days are in the "Biblical year"? And how many days in a "Biblical month"?
The Bible gives us two Rosetta Stones, as it were, for Biblical or prophetic time.
One is in Genesis 7 and the other in Revelation 12.
When we answer these two questions correctly we find that this key Bible prophecy,
Daniel's prophecy of the 70 Weeks,
emerges from the fog and opens up to us.
A Response to Grant Jeffrey
Answering his recent challenge to the
historic doctrine of the
Post-Tribulation
Resurrection-Rapture.
The Jewish New Year
and a False Messiah
It appears that a future Jewish New Year,
a future Feast of Trumpets,
will erupt into holy history in spectacular fashion.
It will be the occasion of the confirmation of the seven year covenant or sovereignty sharing treaty of
Daniel 9:27.
Israel and the nations of western Christendom will sign on with a global peacemaker. He will turn out to be
the false messiah. On that day the watchmen of Israel will be sounding the trumpets of alarm and calling
all of God's covenant people to sacred assembly. The
final seven years of this age
will have just begun. The mirror article is
Rosh Hashanah; Beyond the Traditions.
Who Are Daniel's People?
Daniel's
Prophecy of the 70 weeks
provides vital information concerning the end-time.
The angel Gabriel said "Seventy Weeks are determined",
(or cut out of time), "for your people".
Since one week, (or seven), of
Biblical years still remains
then this is a key end-time prophecy.
Who then, are Daniel's people? Are Christians in the loop here?
Or should we consider "Daniel's people" to be "just the Jews" as we have been told?
When we answer this question correctly
and responsibly we enter into a dark night of the soul.
We find ourselves face to face with the cross of Christ in a very personal way and
wrestling with the Angel of God's Presence
just as Jacob did.
When we accept the Word of God and surrender ourselves to Him we find ourselves entering into a divine serendipity.
And why? Because "the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy."
(Rev. 19:10)
And it is in
this devotion that end time Bible prophecy opens up to us in all its wonder.
End-Time Preparation
Many are asking about preparation for the End-Time.
Is there a physical preparation beyond our spiritual preparation?
And might God have made His preparations to care for His Elect in the latter days?
If so, how?
The End Time Discipline
at the Gate of Joseph.
"You are spies!
And You Will Be Tested!"
The bones of Joseph are still with us today,
although
disturbed of late.
And the seemingly severe and yet nurturing character
the God of Israel has molded in Joseph is a very present
reality in the Gospel and New Covenant.
The Gate of Joseph and all that this means is now opening wide before us.
Our passage into the spirit, character, and discipline of Joseph and Benjamin will be very important
as we come into the thresholds of
end-time drama.
The experiences of our patriarch Joseph before
the harlot and
in exile will
be recapitulated in the history of the Church as we approach the
climax of this present age.
The Gate of Joseph
and the Evangelical Witness
Joseph was given a coat of many colors,
persecuted by his brethren,
thrown into the pit, and sold into slavery.
There at the house of the Chief Executioner of the Egyptian World Order
of that time he resisted the seductions of
Potiphar's harlot wife.
Thrown into prison he became the interpreter of dreams,
even the king's nightmare of a looming reality, a
seven year period of famine and great trial.
Hiding his identity until the emergence of his brother Benjamin
our Joseph fed the world
the Bread of Life. Then when Benjamin came he fed his brothers portions from his table.
The Evangelical family are a scattered persecuted people of many colors and flags.
They too have been and will be persecuted unto the death.
500 Evangelical Christians die every day. And yet in spite of all this they
feed the world the Gospel of the Living Christ, the sinless
Unleavened Bread of Heaven, the Bread of Eternal Life.
Biblical Christians also bring interpretation
to the
70th Week of Daniel, those future seven lean years that bring us to the climax of this age.
If Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh are two prominent English speaking nations, recipients
of the birthright of whom the patriarch Jacob said, "these two will be mine"
who then is Joseph? Who is this Joseph company
who are alienated and separate from their brethren?
Who are these people who
feed their brethren portions from a table set apart and consecrated?
Who is this mysterious House of Joseph,
this company with the bloodstained coat, (or covering), of many colors (or flags)?
A Parable of Ten Virgins
This parable carries an informative and inspiring
message for pilgrim Christians. At some point the leading lights of western Christendom will begin to sputter and approach burnout.
As Jesus tells the story the whole bridal company is slumbering in the deepening darkness.
The hours drag on towards the midnight hour and their lamps are
beginning to burn low and grow dim.
Suddenly, the midnight cry is heard.
The Bridegroom is approaching!
It is time to go out to meet Him.
Now the unfolding drama has become very very personal.

One Single Elect -
drawn from Israel and the Church
Are there two Elects?
Does YHVH-God have an apartheid policy?
And is Israel to forever to remain in her present broken divided state?
The Holy Scriptures, as usual, provide us with
answers to these crucial questions. And this and many other mysteries will surely unfold.
They will become manifest in holy history in the crucible of the End Time.
The mirror article is,
Who are the Chosen People?
The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel
In 722 B.C. the northern ten tribes of Israel
were taken captive by the Assyrians.
They were deliberately intermingled with the nations and disappeared into history.
They are out there, the
Notzrim, which means "watchers" or "a safekeep",
to be revealed at the appointed time.
The Two Witnesses
John saw the two witnesses on earth during
the final 3.5 years, 1260 days of this age. (Rev. 11:2)
They were described to him as two olive trees.
Are they just two men, say Elijah along with Moses or Enoch?
Or is there more to the story? Might the two witnesses
relate in a broader way to the climactic end time
witness of the Kingdom of God on earth by the royal (Jewish), House of Judah in Eretz Israel
and the priestly ministry of the Church, the wider Commonwealth of Israel throughout the world in the Gospel?
Will the Two Witnesses bring in the promised Restoration of Israel? And how will they do this?
Will it be done by means of the
New Covenant spoken of by Jeremiah? (Jer.31:31-33)
The 'Left Behind Series'
Is it fostering a spirit of desertion in the Church?
Why are we as Western evangelicals embracing a Disneyized or Hollywood style eschatology
that has us skipping out 7 years before the climax of the age?
Who dares change the awesome things of God into cheap melodrama for the masses?
And why are we deserting on our Jewish brethren before they
come into the New Covenant near the end of the age? (Zech. 12:7-13:1)
The Flight to Bozrah
The 'woman' of Revelation 12 is
given the wings of a great eagle.
And she flies to a place of safety.
This is an awesome and yet untold prophecy
of the end time. The mirror article is
The Bozrah Exile
The Resurrection of the Righteous Dead
When is the Resurrection of the righteous dead?
Popular Bible prophecy teachers avoid the question like the plague.
Because the Resurrection is securely nailed down
to the "last day". (John 6:39, 6:40, 6:44 and 6:54) And the "First Resurrection" we see in Rev. 20:4, 20:5, and 20:6
includes the tribulation martyrs.
The Resurrected saints are also part of the
single Elect gathered by angels "after the tribulation" in the midst of
the 6th seal cosmic signs of a darkened sun and bloody moon.
So the Resurrection is clearly a post-tribulation event.
Paul tells us that the Rapture is attached to the Resurrection. (1Thes.4:15, 4:16, & 4:17)
So the Rapture must be a post-tribulation event as well.
The Breach of Jeroboam
In 922 B.C. after the death of King Solomon the great
nation of Israel became a house divided. The breach of Jeroboam
saw the ten northern tribes cut off their own sovereignty.
They rebelled from the Throne of David in the Jewish house of Judah.
Later they became the
Lost Ten Tribes of Israel and were lost to history.
Will all Israel be found and fully restored? Yes. This is just one of the many great mysteries
that will be revealed in the
end time drama.
A Runaway Bride:
The Western Church?
The Western Church is running away from her pre-nuptial responsibilities.
She refuses to face her role as witness to her Bridegroom in the end time.
The popular teaching of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture is a clear evidence of this.
It is in fact a
doctrine of desertion and of abandonment.
Will the Western Church assume her true end time role of witness?
Will she be dressed in white raiment,
the righteousness of the saints,
as the true Bride of Christ?
The Harlot of Revelation 17
The Book of Revelation can be read as a story of two women.
One of them, the
Woman of Revelation 12, is glorious.
The other woman is not.
She is the harlot of Revelation 17 & 18.
Who is this harlot? What will she do
when she
takes dominion in the end time drama?
And what will happen to her?
The Root Cause of Anti-Semitism
or
The Origin of Anti-Semitism
Jesus Christ comes to minister and also to rule.
Even now He is being enthroned in the hearts of His people in the gentle bonds of Agape love.
After the
Second Coming of Messiah the Throne of David
will be established upon this earth.
Messiah will both minister and reign in righteousness in the
two offices of Melchizedek for
a thousand years. This is the coming
Millennium of Messiah. The spirit of Belial, or rebellion, hates and loathes His
coming rule with a passion. (See King David's song in Psalm 2.)
So a hidden spiritual war is being conducted against the Throne of David
which is inside the Jewish House of Judah.
Evil powers, angelic and human, are targeting
Jews, Israelis, Evangelicals, and all who bear testimony to the future
rule of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Yeshua Hamashiach our coming Jewish Messiah.
This is the root cause and the essential essence of all
anti-Semitism.
It is a seething hatred against the
rulership of the coming "Son of David".
This is the real reason for the raging of the Gentiles, the (heathen), against Israel and Jews.
This hostility against the Throne of David and the loathing of the message of Messiah's Second Coming
is purveyed by wicked men agitated by their dark angels. Their hatred is quite understandable.
These ruling powers are short timers. They are in stark terror of the
pending judgment they are about to face with the coming of Messiah. This is
the quintessential root of all Anti-Semitism whether it be the carefully cloaked acts of
high government officials, high church dignitaries,
or the more blatant and brutish outrages committed by skinheads and neo-Nazis.
The word "Anti-Semitism" is clearly an obfuscation. It is a smokescreen
hiding something else. The word is a misnomer designed to mislead the unwary.
"Anti-Semitism", at its
heart, is really "anti-Throne of David-ism" or
"Anti-Messiah-ism". It is, in fact,
the "anti-Jewish", "Anti-Judah" arm of the spirit of Anti-Christ.
Rebuilding the Jewish Temple
The
Temple Mount Faithful are ready
right now to rebuild the Temple
in Jerusalem.
But it will require a dramatic change of the political equation.
'Peace and security' must be fully
assured for the Third Temple to be constructed on the Temple Mount
in Jerusalem. This rebuilding is prophesied to go forward.
So who will have guaranteed the peace? And how will it have come about?
Dominion Theology in Recent History
Dominionism, Post-Millennialism, the
'Kingdom Now' Movement, the
'Latter Rain Movement', and Reconstructionism.
They are all coming together in America
today.
But have we seen them before? What has been their history?
When the medieval Roman Church embraced Dominion Theology it eventually took us on into the Crusades.
Later the Church in Spain embraced Dominion Theology and it brought us the Spanish Inquisition.
Jesuit dominionists took over the Church in France during the 1500's.
They were the ones who orchestrated the
St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and "sanctified"
the subsequent bloody persecutions against the Protestant Huguenots in France.
Jesuit Cardinal Richelieu became prime minister of France
and laid siege to the Huguenots at the siege at La Rochelle.
The overly powerful French Church became spiritually compromised
and debauched. This led on to the secularist backlash of the French Revolution.
France then got the
Reign of Terror, a police state, and the Napoleonic Wars.
Even dear Great Britain embraced Dominion Theology in the late 19th and early 20th century.
This was even as the proud British Empire covered one quarter of the globe.
And what happened then? The Titanic struck an iceberg in an unusual way and sank.
Two World Wars with Germany filled in by the Great Depression followed.
The once Great Britain was brought down.
Dear saints. Is there a lesson here for us here?
The Day of the Lord;
It is NOT the Great Tribulation.
Evangelical are being told that the Day of the Lord
is the Great Tribulation. Is this true?
Or is it a falsehood? If it is a lie, then why is it been told?
The Beast Demon of the Abyss
"The beast that you saw was, and is not,
and will ascend out of the bottomless pit
and go to perdition".
This sounds like a riddle.
But the Bible has the answer.
Isaiah's Prophecy of the
Coming Destruction of Damascus
Damascus today is a modern city
in southwest Syria near the border of Israel.
It has an
ancient history going back 4,000 years
to the time of Abraham.
It has never been destroyed. But the prophet
Isaiah (ch.17) declared that at some future time
Damascus would become "a heap of rubble".
What will have happened?
The Sheep Goat Judgement
There will be a judgment of surviving unsaved mortals
at the end of this age. Messiah will judge the sheep
from the goats. The sheep and the goats are unsaved. Perhaps over a billion of them are children.
The living mortals are heathen gentiles. They are still outside the covenants of Israel.
Judgment for Millennial entry is based
on evidence of a second order blood covenant relationship with Messiah.
Neither the sheep nor the goats are in direct covenant with Messiah.
But the sheep are shown to be in an indirect covenant with Christ.
And why? Because they ministered blood covenant lovingkindness
to His friends, the saints in their time of tribulation.
On this basis the returning Messiah selects them out as His sheep.
They are issued a passport for entry into the
Millennium of Messiah.
The Bozrah Deliverance
The Second Coming of Christ in the clouds is well known.
So is His Second Coming on the Mount of Olives and
His divine judgment on the armies of the nations
threatening Jerusalem and mustering in the Valley of Armageddon.
The Bible also speaks about the divine judgment
on the wicked and a magnificent deliverance of God's
covenant people at a place called Bozrah which in the latter days
will be under
Edomite, (bad guy)
control. This is the spectacular and magnificent Bozrah Deliverance. - Mic.2:12-13
Do we know about this?
The Metonic Cycles and
the 70th Week of Daniel.
The metonic cycle in which
an extra month of Adar is inserted before the month
of Nisan 7 times every 19 years in a certain cadence
is used in the
Hebrew Calendar. This provides
valuable information about an
upcoming seven year time span known as the
7Oth Week of Daniel.
The author noticed that for those future
seven year spans with 86 moons the two
Fall Feasts of Israel that are coming up for fulfillment
happen to stake out with total precision the
2550 days encompassing the
final seven years of this age.
Is this a coincidence?
Probably not. Is this info helpful to us?
Yes it certainly is. We should keep a very close watch on events in Israel
during the fall (autumn) season of each year.
The epic future 7 year peace treaty,
the future
7 year covenant of Dan.9:27,
will involve the handover of
God's sovereign territory in the Holy Land
of Israel. The deal
will probably be signed on a future dark and moonless night,
the new moon of Tishrei, Rosh Hashanah, the
Feast of Trumpets, and the Jewish New Year.
A dreadful and yet awesome day will have dawned.
The trumpets will be blowing in earnest.
And the
70th week of Daniel, the final seven years
of this age, will have just begun.
How close is the RAPTURE?
Many evangelicals are now asking themselves,
'How close is the Rapture?'
Does the Bible tell us?
Information Warfare
and God's Holy Word
There is a spiritual war going on in the second heaven and here on earth.
It involves an information war. The true Word of God
is under attack by secular blocking spirits
as well as deceptive spirits of
religious disinformation.
The Word of God,
as usual, will prevail.

The Woman and the Dragon
of Revelation Chapter 12
John saw the deliverance of the
end time Elect from the dragon in
the last 3.5 years of this age.
He saw the flight of the woman
to a place of safety
on the wings of a great eagle.
Micah and the constellation of the Little Dipper
or Lesser Sheepfold tell us the rest of
the story.

The French Revolution
compared with the
American Revolution
The 18th Century saw two revolutions against monarchies.
The American Revolution embraced the Reformation,
and honored the Holy Scriptures.
A significant portion of America's citizenry was under
the inner discipline of a personal faith in God.
The French Revolution was quite different.
Huguenot reformers in France had been exterminated
and Biblical Christianity driven away leaving a debauched Roman Church
in France with blood on its hands. When the French Revolution came
it flat-out rejected the Christian faith
in favor of a humanistic state secularism based on 'enlightenment" and "reason'.
The American Revolution embracing Biblical Christianity and personal faith
was characterized by peace and stability and spawned a great nation.
The other Revolution over in France led to barbarism and the "Reign of Terror".
Is this spiritual dimension to history being taught in our schools and colleges?
And if not, why not?

For three days she was lost at sea and there she cried out to find that she was not alone.
Michelle's website is aptly named,
Jonah Ministries and the URL is www.jonahministries.com.au
She has a deep appreciation for the Hebraic roots of our faith and an interest in the blood covenant, atonement,
and the Feasts of Israel. There are a number of very wonderful PDF's of Powerpoint teachings on these themes and
freely accessible to all available on her website.

Light Evangelism Ministry (LEM) is a faithful, well run, and very fruitful mission
operating in war ravaged Liberia and Guinea. Brother
Neh-kewon (Mark) Dahn and his wife Eunice, who are from Liberia, were called into ministry in 1989.
After completion of his Biblical studies at Pensacola Christian College
Brother Mark proceeded to establish the Light Evangelism Ministry in 2005.
Here in the USA Brother Mark serves with LEM seeking ministry partners and raising support for the ministry
among the churches.
A network of committed native pastors and evangelists are at work in West Africa.
The past four years have seen over nineteen hundred saved. Many
are being nurtured in the faith and numerous small churches are being established.
Widows and orphans of the civil war are being helped and medicines are being dispensed.
After 15 years of internal conflict there are many amputees.
Inexpensive wheelchairs are about to be sent over in containers with plans for them to be assembled
in Liberia by the vocational arm of Light Evangelism Ministry.
Native evangelists and pastors are using the bicycles and the motor scooter
LEM has provided to speed them on their way.
The pick-up truck we sent in is carrying the evangelistic crew and the equipment
for the "Jesus film" to be shown in villages deep into the back country of Liberia.
Hundreds of lasting commitments are being made to Jesus.
Bibles are being provided and new believers are being nurtured in the faith with follow-up
ministry.
This is a faithful mission work and a very good investment
for us as stewards in the Kingdom of God.
